The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 is a compact wide-angle prime for the Canon EF autofocus mount, introduced in the late 1980s alongside the early EOS system. It was designed as an affordable everyday wide for 35mm film SLRs and remains usable on EF-mount digital bodies, where it covers a moderate full-frame field of view suited to reportage, interiors and landscapes.

UK auction hammer results for this lens are thin: a single recorded sale in April 2025 went through at £238, which sets the only firm reference point for what an EF 28mm f/2.8 is worth at saleroom level today in 2026. With just one data point the price, value and median all sit at £238, and clean, fungus-free copies tend to sell for figures in that area at recent UK auction, while scruffy examples typically achieve less. These are wholesale hammer levels rather than retail dealer asking prices.
